By Xiaosu Zhu (Watson & Band)<\/a> and Anna Chan (OLN)<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a landmark decision by the Hong Kong Court of First Instance in Re<\/em><\/strong> Joint and Several Liquidators of CEFC Shanghai International Group Ltd <\/strong><\/em>(the \u201cCEFC Case<\/strong>\u201d), the Hong Kong Courts extended recognition and assistance to liquidators in Mainland China, which is a huge step towards Hong Kong-PRC coordination in cross-border liquidations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, there has also been precedents whereby Hong Kong Court urged for multi-jurisdictional cooperation in cross-border liquidation cases. In Re Da Yu Financial Holdings Limited<\/em><\/strong>, <\/strong>the Court sanctioned a scheme of arrangement proposed by a Cayman-incorporated company listed in Hong Kong and commented that the full blown parallel schemes, instead of a simple recognition of foreign scheme, are an outmoded way of conducting cross-border restructuring. The CEFC Case <\/em><\/strong>now marks the first time that Hong Kong Courts has recognized and provided assistance to liquidators from the Mainland China, a non-common law jurisdiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEFC Shanghai International Group Limited (\u201cCEFC<\/strong>\u201d) is a PRC-incorporated company undergoing insolvent liquidation in the Mainland China. CEFC\u2019s assets included a claim against its Hong Kong subsidiary, Shanghai Huaxin Group (Hong Kong) Limited, amounting to around HK$7.2 billion (the \u201cReceivable<\/strong>\u201d). Given the Subsidiary was in liquidation in Hong Kong, CEFC had submitted a proof of debt in respect of the Receivable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, CEFC\u2019s liquidators (known as \u201cadministrators\u201d in PRC) discovered that, before the liquidation, a creditor of CEFC had obtained default judgment against CEFC in Hong Kong for a sum of around EUR 29 million, and a Garnishee Order nisi <\/em>in respect of the Receivable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If CEFC was only asserting itself as the creditor of the Hong Kong subsidiary, it would only rank pari passu <\/em>with the judgment creditor, therefore running the risk that it would be too late to enforce upon the Receivable if the judgment creditor obtained Garnishee Order absolute.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mitigate such risk, the PRC liquidators sought recognition of the PRC insolvency proceedings, and assistance for a stay of the Garnishee proceedings. The Hong Kong Court granted such recognition and assistance, and allowed the stay of the creditor\u2019s Garnishee proceedings.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criteria for application to the Hong Kong Court<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Justice Harris summarized the now well-established principles and procedures governing applications to the Courts of Hong Kong for recognition and assistance. Provided that:- <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. the foreign insolvency proceedings are collective insolvency proceedings; and<\/li>
  2. the foreign insolvency proceedings are opened in the company\u2019s country of incorporation,<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    the Court may recognize insolvency proceedings in a civil law jurisdiction. Upon recognition, the Court will then grant assistance to the foreign liquidators by applying Hong Kong insolvency law. The above 2 criteria were ruled to be satisfied in the present case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, in the judgment the Court said that it will not grant the foreign liquidators all powers as are available to a liquidator appointed pursuant to the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong)(\u201cCWUMPO<\/strong>\u201d). Powers of assistance granted to foreign liquidators are limited to:- <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. enabling the foreign liquidators to do something which they could do under the law by which  they are appointed;<\/li>
    2. only when it is necessary for the performance for the foreign liquidators\u2019 function; and<\/li>
    3. where it is consistent with the substantive law and public policy of the assisting court.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Mr. Justice Harris opined that the case satisfied all of the above requirements, and observed that there were considerable similarities in the insolvency laws of Hong Kong and the PRC, such as the powers and duties of liquidators and pari passu <\/em>distribution of debtor\u2019s assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      His Lordship also held that, if a creditor commences Garnishee proceedings in Hong Kong after liquidation has commenced, the Garnishee proceedings should be terminated. Even if an order nisi <\/em>has been obtained before the foreign insolvency proceedings, the Court has discretion to make the order absolute. In coming to the conclusion, the English case Galbraith v Grimshaw<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>was held to be incompatible with modern insolvency laws (and indeed the case has been subject to much judicial and academic criticism) and therefore no longer applicable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Significance<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This case is the first ever in time that Mainland Chinese liquidators have applied for and been granted recognition from the Hong Kong Court. Although the Court cautioned that assistance granted to PRC liquidators should be on a case by case basis, this case certainly lends support to future PRC liquidators in seeking Hong Kong Court\u2019s recognition and assistance (provided that they pass the thresholds).\u00a0Immediately following this case, on 4th<\/sup>\u00a0June 2020 in\u00a0Re Shenzhen Everich Supply Chain Co Ltd<\/em><\/strong>, Mr. Justice Harris made another ruling recognizing the Shenzhen bankruptcy proceedings and the appointment of the liquidator by Shenzhen intermediate Court, empowering the liquidator to exercise its powers in Hong Kong.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In light of the growing trend for PRC-incorporated companies to hold assets in Hong Kong, it is expected that where such companies enter liquidation, liquidators will seek Hong Kong Court\u2019s recognition relying on this landmark judgment. If the mainland Chinese authorities are agreeable to promoting a unitary approach to trans-national insolvencies like Hong Kong, it is likely that this case will become highly persuasive in favour of Hong Kong Courts granting recognition and assistance to mainland liquidators.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This result can also be contrasted with past cases where the Hong Kong Courts refused assistance to trustees of a foreign-incorporated company governed by foreign jurisdictions, such as in the case of China Fishery Group Ltd<\/em><\/strong> where it was held that the companies involved did not have a connection with the US. In that case, the companies involved were found to have been acting in bad faith by filing the Chapter 11 proceedings in the US and appointing the trustee thereunder, in an attempt to defeat the creditor\u2019s enforcement action under the Hong Kong jurisdiction. As such, the Courts declined to allow the companies to reap from their egregious conduct. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It appears to suggest that, provided that companies have acted in good faith in the proceedings, Hong Kong Courts are prepared to offer recognition and assistance to liquidators. This would be in the interest of expediting cross-border insolvency and restructuring in future<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The position by the PRC Courts remains to be tested. According to the PRC Enterprise Bankruptcy Law, if a legally effective foreign ruling on a bankruptcy case involves the property of a debtor within the territory of Mainland China, and an application for the recognition and execution thereof is filed with the Mainland Court, the Mainland Court shall, according to international treaties or the principle of reciprocity, review the ruling, and decide whether to recognize or execute such ruling having regard to factors such as whether such recognition or execution would violate the fundamental principles of the law of Mainland China, impair state sovereignty, security and social public interests, or impair the legitimate rights and interests of the debtors within Mainland China. However, in practice, so far there is no precedent in which Mainland Courts recognize the effectiveness of foreign bankruptcy proceedings.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Now that Hong Kong Courts have made this breakthrough, it is expected to lead to positive influence on Mainland Courts. Whether Mainland and Hong Kong will further recognize and cooperate in cross-border insolvency and restructuring in the future will largely depend on whether Mainland Courts, like the Hong Kong Courts, will adopt a unified approach.\u00a0In fact, mutual recognition by the Mainland and Hong Kong Courts is believed to be a two-way street and the Supreme People’s Court in China has begun to explore and establish institutional arrangements for judicial assistance in insolvency cases with relevant parties in Hong Kong. This case definitely provides reference and practical experience in this area and will have a great impact on foreign application for recognition in the Mainland in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Other points to note in cross-border insolvency<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Application of <\/em>pari passu principle<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        It is commonly the case that in cross-border insolvency, a company in one jurisdiction holds assets situated in a foreign jurisdiction. It has been held in\u00a0Re Guangdong International Trust & Investment Corporation Hong Kong (Holdings) Ltd<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0that it is possible to apply the principle of\u00a0pari passu\u00a0<\/em>distribution to distribute the insolvent estate\u2019s assets both in Hong Kong and abroad.In that instance, the liquidators of the company were tasked with distributing the company\u2019s cash in a PRC bank account, and its Hong Kong assets, to the creditors. Given the mainland regulations on currency transfer, the cash in the PRC bank account could only be transferred to other PRC bank accounts. The Court allowed the proposed mechanism of distribution of the PRC account balance to creditors who had a PRC account, and distribution of Hong Kong assets to those who did not receive the PRC account balance, both on a\u00a0pari passu\u00a0<\/em>basis.\u00a0Despite this mechanism not involving a pooling of all assets of the company before\u00a0pari passu<\/em>\u00a0distribution, it was held that the principle was concerned with achieving a\u00a0substantive\u00a0result but not the procedural mechanisms. This is a welcoming flexibility that would no doubt assist future liquidators in proposing methods of distribution of assets, where there might be procedural difficulty in adhering to the traditional understanding of\u00a0pari passu\u00a0<\/em>principle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        1. Bankruptcy proceedings vs. garnishee proceedings<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Notably, if the parent company undergoing liquidation were a Hong Kong company instead of a Shanghai entity, it would still result in the way as in the CEFC Case (that the Garnishee proceedings could not continue against the company\u2019s receivables). This is by virtue of section 186, CWUMPO, which provides that when a winding-up order has been made, or a provisional liquidator has been appointed, no proceeding shall be proceeded with or commenced against the liquidating company (except by leave of the Court).\u00a0It is a well-settled principle that the Court has inherent jurisdiction to stay proceedings (e.g. Garnishee proceedings) or stay execution against a company in liquidation, with good policy reasons behind. It would be \u201cunfair or more likely an abuse\u201d if, in liquidation where\u00a0pari passu<\/em>\u00a0distribution of a judgment debtor\u2019s asset is in place or imminent, the judgment creditor gains an unfair advantage over other creditors by enforcing the judgment.\u00a0In the CEFC Case, the stay of Garnishee proceedings was precisely because the Court wished to achieve the same result as it would in local winding-ups under section 186 CWUMPO, so that it may oversee creditor action to promote an orderly liquidation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Comparison of the insolvency regimes in Hong Kong and Shanghai\/PRC<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Extrapolating on the Court\u2019s ending remark on unitary approach by the two jurisdictions, this part sets out differences in winding-up proceedings in Hong Kong and Shanghai in order to explore the possibility of future similar treatment of Hong Kong liquidators by the PRC authorities.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Insolvency test<\/td>Company is unable to pay its debts and if:-
          A creditor serves on the company at its registered office a Statutory Demand and the company neglects to pay the sum within 3 weeks of service;
          Execution or other process issued on a judgment or court order in favor of the creditor is returned unsatisfied; or
          After considering the contingent and prospective liabilities of the company, it is proved to the court that the company cannot pay its debts. The usual test relied upon is the cash flow test but the balance sheet test is also applicable, and is applied as the Court considers appropriate. <\/td>          		An enterprise is unable to pay its debts due and if:
          Its assets are not sufficient to pay all its debts (namely, the balance sheet test); or
          Such enterprise obviously lacks solvency (to some extent like the cash flow test).
          If the assets of a debtor exceed the liabilities on the balance sheet, the Court will hold that it obviously lacks solvency if:
          it is unable to pay its debts due to such reasons as the serious insufficiency of funds or the failure to realize property; or
          it is unable to pay its debts because the whereabouts of its legal representative is unknown and there is no other person responsible for managing its property; or
          it is unable to pay its debts upon enforcement of the Court; orit is unable to pay its debts because it has made a loss for a long time and it is difficult for it to turn losses into profits; or
          in any other circumstances which result in the loss of solvency of the debtor.
          As for reorganization, the threshold could be even lower; as long as the enterprise has apparently forfeited the ability to pay its debts, it may undergo reorganization according to the provisions of the Law.<\/td><\/tr>
